Nail-job craving: I had my Red Carpet Manicure removed yesterday afternoon (which was still looking quite pristine after two-and-a-half weeks) because I had plans for a super fun morning today (but nothing I can talk about just yet) so I wanted something new on my nails that was equally fun and happy.
(FYI, my long, semi-close-to-cornchip nails (for me) were naked for a bit yesterday, and within a couple of hours, one of them broke — they sure didn’t have the resiliency they do with the gel/gel hybrid polish on them!)
How I satisfied that craving: With one of my all-time favourite summer nail colours, Quo by Orly in Purple Daydream.
How this nail colour make me feel: Like I’m a superstar. It’s bold, it’s bright. My only issue? I think it’s more pink than purple, so that name throws me off.
Love it or hate it: Love. Love. Love.

Nail-job craving: Something sparkly — yes, because it’s the holidays, but I also am trying to make someone else in my household feel more comfortable (more on that tomorrow!).
How I satisfied that craving: At the Revlon preview I attended yesterday at Tips Nail Bar, with two base coats of Smoldering (an elegant iridescent silvery lavendery shade, with a glittery layer of Stunning overtop.
How this nail combo make me feel: The look feels pretty versatile, like it can be dressed up (for a chic soiree)–the sparkle is subtle enough for it–or down (for a hipster bar). Whenever I look at my nails (which is more often than is healthy!) I think of that prismatic silver ribbon, know which one I mean?
Love it or hate it: Love, as did at least two other peeps at the event (one editor tried the same look, and the other is planning on it for a party she’s attending on the weekend)… I like to think of myself as a muse (kidding!).
